==== Comment on Copyright Materials ====
Any material that is originally created by someone and not intended for mass consumption cannot be posted. An example would be an instructional video on a study provider's website, where a fee is required for viewing.
In my experience, much of the study material provided by study providers is copied from publicly available sources, such as IRS Publications, AICPA Publications, etc. These are free to be posted.
